Berserk God of War

Hearing Tie Binghun’s words, Duanmu Chun’s mouth fell wide open. What the hell was all this supposed to mean?

The Qianwang Holy Tower was actually sending a message to someone like Tie Binghun, a man standing on Qianwang’s opposite side, and it was even about some Qianwang Tenth Emperor duel?

But Sikong Jing’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he lightly nodded toward Tie Binghun.

"I already know about this."

"What Qianwang Holy Tower is plotting is exactly this: they want all the Emperors under heaven to fight over five Qianwang Tenth Emperor slots, giving every top-level Emperor in the world a chance to join Qianwang Holy Tower."

This time, Duanmu Chun finally understood, but he was immediately at a complete loss.

So Qianwang Holy Tower was changing its strategy—Qianwang’s Ten Emperors would no longer be entirely made up of people from the Qianwang Holy Tower. Instead, they would split off five slots and let the powerhouses of the world fight for them...

"But why?"

"Qianwang Holy Tower is, for no reason, handing out five Emperor slots to other forces. Isn’t that just asking for trouble?"

But as he spoke, Duanmu Chun suddenly shuddered violently and said, "No, that’s not it. They’re trying to gather all the strong ones from under heaven and drive them all to Qianwang Holy Tower, so they can plot against the Major Sects, or maybe to intimidate the entire world?"

"They want to lure all the people from the Major Sects away from Overlord City and pull them over to Qianwang Holy Tower?"

Duanmu Chun was, after all, East Dominator’s Duanmu Dabajue. With just a thought, he grasped the key point.

But then he showed a confused look again and said, "But why would the top-level Emperors of those top-tier Sects want to become Qianwang Holy Tower’s Ten Emperors? Why would they join Qianwang Holy Tower—doesn’t that sound like a joke?"

"Just like Peak Master Tie—would he stop being a perfectly good Peak Master just to fight over a Five Emperor slot?"

It felt impossible. Nobody would be that stupid.

Giving up a good position only to go be Qianwang Holy Tower’s dog, and do it openly, at that?

Tie Binghun also nodded hard at that. He couldn’t figure it out.

Of course he would never go fight over some Qianwang Tenth Emperor. Even if he had no grudge with Qianwang Holy Tower, there was simply no need.

Staring at the two men in front of him, Sikong Jing lightly shook the letter his younger sister Sikong Ling had sent him...

Then Sikong Jing asked softly, "Peak Master Tie, if you had no blood feud with Qianwang Holy Tower, or just a minor one, and Qianwang Holy Tower said that as long as you become one of the Qianwang Ten Emperors, you can obtain a Holy Grade cultivation method and Martial Skill..."

"Would you be tempted to go fight for it?"

As Sikong Jing spoke, Tie Binghun’s pupils contracted violently.

Duanmu Chun also shuddered all over, as if he suddenly saw the whole picture.

Right after, Sikong Jing’s voice turned cold again. "And if Qianwang Holy Tower further says that being one of the Qianwang Ten Emperors is just hanging a name there, and afterward everything goes on as usual—would you want to try your luck then?"

"Gulp..."

Hearing this, Tie Binghun couldn’t help swallowing hard. The answer was obvious.

Duanmu Chun suddenly rasped, "Under heavy rewards, brave men will rise. The Holy Martial Stage is an irresistible, burning temptation to every top-level Emperor. No matter what they’re thinking, they’ll absolutely want to give it a try."

Sikong Jing nodded heavily. All of this had been written very clearly in his sister’s letter.

Because the Wunian Sect Master had already announced that he would side with Qianwang Holy Tower, he got advance word of Qianwang Holy Tower’s plan.

Right now, Qianwang Holy Tower still hasn’t publicly revealed what kind of rewards they’ll hand out. They’re only sending messages and invitations to the various top-tier powerhouses. The point, of course, is to keep everyone puzzled...

Then when they publicly announce the rewards, they’ll shock and awe the whole world, triggering a massive storm.

At this moment, Tie Binghun began muttering to himself again...

"Gather almost all the top-tier Sects and top-level Emperors of the entire Central Plains, promise five slots to obtain Holy-grade cultivation methods, and thus win the strong support of five top-level forces, using sheer momentum to suppress Overlord Commerce."

"But isn’t Pei Kuang afraid that among the five winners, there will be people who have already joined Overlord Commerce?"

"For example, if I or the Golden Tiger Emperor go participate and win one of the Five Emperor slots, wouldn’t Pei Kuang be basically lifting a rock only to smash his own feet?"

That was entirely possible. Was Pei Kuang not worried that Overlord Commerce would send top-level Emperors to participate too?

If that happens, isn’t he just giving them Holy-grade cultivation methods for free?

To this, Sikong Jing shook his head again...

"On Qianwang Holy Tower’s turf, if Peak Master Tie snatches a slot, do you really think Pei Kuang will hand you the goods?"

"Even if he can’t kill you on the spot, he’ll just give you some fakes... If you want the real thing, you’ll have to publicly declare loyalty to Qianwang Holy Tower. And someone will definitely be tempted."

"All because of the Holy Martial Stage—the dream of every top-level Emperor."

"And more importantly, it’s just like Duanmu Dabajue said: what Pei Kuang wants is all the powerhouses under heaven flocking to Qianwang Holy Tower. Pei Kuang wants to declare the might of Qianwang Holy Tower to the whole world, to cow every side."

Hearing this, Tie Binghun’s whole body trembled slightly as he finally understood.

By then, no matter who goes, they’ll still be on Qianwang Holy Tower’s territory. In the end, it’s all up to them. For Pei Kuang, controlling the situation won’t be difficult at all—there’ll definitely be all sorts of coercion and temptation.

At this moment, Sikong Jing continued...

"The various Sects are entangled in complex interests. There’s no way they’ll join hands to attack Qianwang Holy Tower."

"When the time comes, Pei Kuang can even openly reveal a portion of a Holy Martial cultivation method, and countless Sects will be willing to fight for them."

Every word from Sikong Jing was crystal clear, sending waves of cold through Tie Binghun and Duanmu Chun. And just then, Duanmu Chun suddenly thought of something and looked at Sikong Jing—Pei Kuang’s methods seemed to be...

"He’s copying me."

"He’s already seen how much influence even a fraction of the Qianyuan Formation has on the Sects of the Central Plains. So he’s imitating me and Overlord Commerce, using Holy-grade cultivation methods to poach people and support from Overlord Commerce."

A fraction of the Qianyuan Formation had made the Major Sects develop a rejection toward Qianwang Holy Tower.

And now, a fraction of a Holy Martial cultivation method could yank that rejection back hard. To put it bluntly, Pei Kuang wants the entire world to see that his Qianwang Holy Tower is stronger and more magnanimous than Overlord Commerce.

Duanmu Chun swallowed again and asked, "How should we respond?"

His scalp was tingling. This was an open clash with Overlord Commerce, a direct contest of foundations and strength.

A contest over who can produce better offerings to win over the world’s powerhouses.

And regardless of heritage or strength, Qianwang Holy Tower is clearly superior, so they obviously have the advantage here. The Major Sects dare to cause trouble in Overlord City, but on Qianwang Holy Tower’s turf, they absolutely wouldn’t dare.

You could say that Overlord Commerce’s accumulation over nearly half a year might be emptied in one stroke.

At this, a cold smile slowly surfaced in Sikong Jing’s eyes. "Pei Kuang’s move is indeed vicious and ruthless. But what he doesn’t know is that Overlord Commerce can also publicly offer Holy-grade cultivation methods."

"That’s right. Overlord Commerce now also possesses Holy-grade cultivation methods and Martial Skills. It’s just that no one knows yet."

What Sikong Jing was talking about, of course, were the things inside the Stone Stool Sky Pattern Treasure.

Once he said this, Tie Binghun and Duanmu Chun both shuddered again, staring at Sikong Jing in disbelief.

Overlord Commerce actually has something like that too?
